What is a Beast Tamer Talent?
The answer is a talent that can affect a Pet Beast.
Take Divine Power Talent, for example. It can be shared with Pet Beasts. If one hundred and twenty Pet Beasts share it, that means one hundred and twenty Divine Power Talents, plus the Beast Tamer's own talent, resulting in one hundred and twenty-one Divine Power Talents.
A Divine Power Legion composed of one hundred and twenty-one Divine Power Talent carriers could sweep across the entire world.
Wait, that's not quite right. That statement isn't precise. It couldn't sweep the world now, but it could have in the Past. With the Old President of the Alliance still alive, even if you multiplied that by ten, you still couldn't turn the world upside down.
Why is the atmosphere in the Alliance so good? The reason is the Old President suppressing things.
Why don't the Gods from Outside the Realm dare to descend, not even sending avatars?
Because the Old President exists in the human world.
The Old President is terrifying. Even in the game, Li Cunxu couldn't see the depth of the Old President.
The final BOSS wasn't the Old President; otherwise, Li Cunxu would never have been able to pass the stage.
Li Cunxu asked, "Anle, what are your thoughts on your Pet Beasts?"
"None."
Li Anle shook her little head.
That's great, you have none, but I do.
Li Cunxu's idea was to form the Four Symbols Army.
Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise.
In his Past Life, a Super Guild did exactly this. When combined, they were ridiculously strong, having almost no Opponents. If they hadn't been arrogant and provoked the Old President, they wouldn't have been wiped out.
Wait, wiped out.
Suddenly, Li Cunxu felt that forming the Four Symbols Army wasn't such a great idea after all.
No matter how strong the Four Symbols Army is, can it be stronger than the Old President?
Not even a little bit.
The Old President could destroy it with a backhand slap.
Moreover, cultivating the Four Symbols Army consumes massive resources, and resources related to the Four Symbols cost significantly more than resources of the same Grade and Quality. They are scarce on the market because everyone knows how powerful the Four Symbols Army is; many families are trying to replicate it.
An entire Super Guild, using the strength of all its players, barely managed to form the Four Symbols Army.
How could Li Cunxu and Li Anle possibly achieve that with just the two of them?
Li Cunxu also realized a problem: imposing his ideas onto Li Anle was unfair to her.
Just because Li Anle has no ideas about her Pet Beasts now doesn't mean she won't have her own ideas later.
She was pinned to the bed since childhood, unable to move, so she naturally knows nothing about Pet Beasts and has no opinions. Once she interacts with Pet Beasts and gains more exposure, she will naturally form her own ideas.
"Brother, do you have any ideas?"
"I did, but upon reflection, they were inappropriate, so I gave them up."
"Alright, stop clinging to me. I'm going to meditate and cultivate now. Go play by yourself outside."
Li Cunxu gently lifted Li Anle, who was kneeling on him, down.
After thinking about it again, he felt it was improper, so he went out with Li Anle.
The Mech Hunter showed a look of shock. It had been monitoring the Ranch gate and hadn't seen Li Cunxu bring a Little Girl in from outside.
When did the Ranch Owner bring the Little Girl in?
Li Cunxu introduced, "This is my Younger Sister, Li Anle, my biological sister."
"This is the Mech Hunter, the most outstanding bodyguard for the ranch."
"Mech Hunter, why are you so surprised that someone came out of my Wooden House? Didn't you notice them before?"
That shouldn't be! It could even detect the invisible Xue Fengsi.
The Mech Hunter replied, "The Wooden House is the Ranch Owner's home; it contains the Ranch Owner's privacy. I do not pry."
That's professional ethics.
Li Cunxu gave it a thumbs-up.
As for the invisible Xue Fengsi, if he had stayed quietly inside Li Cunxu's Wooden House, the Mech Hunter might not have detected him.
But he insisted on wandering around.
Li Cunxu instructed the Guard Dog to help watch the child.
"Anle, you are only allowed to play on the Grassland; don't run outside."
"Okay."
Li Anle obediently agreed.
After Li Cunxu entered the house, Li Anle walked up to the Guard Dog, clasped her hands together, and pleaded cutely.
"Big dog, can I ride you? Please?"
Ah Huang picked up Li Anle and tossed her onto its back, then ran happily across the Grassland.
The Mech Hunter was extremely surprised; Ah Huang actually agreed.
How could Ah Huang agree? It is the most loyal, allowing no strangers near except its Master.
The Mech Hunter observed closely and noticed Ah Huang's state was slightly off, as if it had been charmed.
How is that possible?
Ah Huang is female; how could it be charmed by a Little Girl?
The Mech Hunter stared at Li Anle for a while and thought, "What a cute Little Girl. Ah Huang's self-control is poor; we can't blame the Little Girl."
The Mech Hunter suddenly became alert, thinking to itself, the Ranch Owner's sister is too strange.
It must be remembered that it is a Mechanical Pet and does not possess the concept of 'cute' towards people.
Seeing the phone, Li Cunxu suddenly remembered that he had called the police earlier to mislead Xue Fengsi. Now that his sister was back, perhaps he should inform Officer Lin.
After considering it, Li Cunxu placed the phone back on the table.
He definitely needed to inform Officer Lin, but not right now.
What if Officer Lin insisted on coming over to see Li Anle after being informed?
Li Anle has shrunk and is completely different from before; how could he explain that?
"It's hard to explain, so I'll just not inform her for the time being."
He planned to wait until Li Anle bred the mutated Holy Lotus Eye, then notify the Holy Lotus Li Family to take his sister away, and only then inform Officer Lin.
Li Cunxu closed his eyes to meditate.
Meditation ended at four o'clock.
Li Cunxu sighed. His meditation progress wasn't fast or slow; it was just average, at a normal person's level.
But at this rate, he would definitely drag his Pet Beasts down in the future.
"It seems I need to find a way to increase my meditation speed."
There are many ways to increase meditation speed, most of which are beyond Li Cunxu's financial means.
There is one method that is cheap and practical, but it is excruciatingly painful.
The Scorpion Venom of the White Leaf Scorpion can increase meditation speed, but only the most ruthless of the ruthless, the most hardcore of the hardcore, can manage it.
The toxicity of the White Leaf Scorpion's Scorpion Venom isn't high, but when it stings a person, it is incredibly painful, like tens of millions of White Leaf Scorpions gnawing at your bone marrow, tearing at your flesh bit by bit, your eyes, your brain—that kind of immense pain.
Its pain comes not only from the physical body but also from the spirit.
In the game, Li Cunxu set the pain level to the minimum of ten percent, and even then, his consciousness disconnected from the game pod due to the pain.
"Can the pain from the White Leaf Scorpion's Scorpion Venom be reduced? I think some NPCs researched it, but they didn't succeed. Forget it."
He couldn't even handle ten percent pain, let alone one hundred percent.
"Actually, using the White Leaf Scorpion's Scorpion Venom is also a form of willpower training. If the pain could be reduced somewhat, it might be worth a try."
Time flowed like an irreversible long river. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Little Soft acquired its first Slime Subject.
Li Cunxu looked forward eagerly. After a month of development and expansion, the number of Slimes captured had reached over one hundred thousand.
"It's time to collect taxes."
Five Star Points floated out of every Slime Subject, converging from all directions above the Soul Kingdom, resembling a beautiful galaxy in the universe.
Black Star Points represent the Soul Tax.
Cyan Star Points represent the Spiritual Power Tax.
Gold Star Points represent the Physique Tax.
Colored Star Points represent the Spiritual Energy Tax.
White Star Points represent the Skill Experience Tax.
Li Cunxu felt this taxation was a bit greedy; they were even taxing the soul, although it was only one percent each time.
Li Cunxu worried whether collecting the Soul Tax would kill the Slimes.
Li Cunxu did not know yet that collecting the Soul Tax was not only harmless to the Slimes but actually beneficial.
Because after the Soul Tax was collected each time, the Slime's soul would break through a small limit, and the soul would recover and grow slightly in a very short time.
The other taxes were the same—harmless and beneficial, capable of breaking the Race limits that originally bound the Slimes.
The Black Star Points merged into Little Soft's body, and Little Soft's weak soul grew rapidly.
The Cyan Star Points merged into Little Soft's body, and Little Soft's Spiritual Power increased explosively.
The Gold Star Points merged into Little Soft's body, and Little Soft's size increased at a visible rate.
Li Cunxu got a headache. Bigger isn't always better for size, especially for fragile Slimes.
"This size is just a moving target in combat; I need to get Little Soft a 【Shrink】 skill."
The Colored Star Points merged into Little Soft's body, and a large amount of Spiritual Energy flooded into Little Soft's body.
Li Cunxu was dumbfounded.
This Spiritual Energy wasn't temporary, something that disappeared after use.
The influx of Spiritual Energy permanently expanded Little Soft's Spiritual Energy limit and permanently increased its Spiritual Energy recovery speed.
Moreover, different attribute Spiritual Energies granted Little Soft different attributes.
For example, Grass Element Spiritual Energy granted Little Soft the Grass attribute.
Earth Element Spiritual Energy granted Little Soft the Earth attribute.
Now, opening Little Soft's Panel, one could see a pile of attributes in the attribute column.
【Pet Beast】: Water Slime （Little Soft）
【Attributes】: Water, Grass, Earth, Poison, Wind.
It suddenly gained four new attributes.
The last batch of White Star Points merged into Little Soft's body, and comprehension flooded its mind. Little Soft instantly learned the Grass Blade from the Grass Slime, Mud Throw from the Earth Slime, Garbage Poison Gas from the Garbage Slime, Gust of Wind from the Winged Slime, and Collision, which all Slimes know.
Learning skills wasn't the end; the surplus comprehension seemed to transform into skill experience, causing Skill Proficiency to rise rapidly.
Water Ball: Novice → Proficient → Expert → Perfect → Break Limit → Second Break Limit.
Grass Blade: Novice → Proficient → Expert → Perfect → Break Limit → Second Break Limit.
Mud Throw: Novice → Proficient → Expert → Perfect → Break Limit.
...
Collision: Novice → Proficient → Expert → Perfect → Break Limit → Second Break Limit → Third Break Limit.
Break Limit means surpassing the skill's original limit.
With multiple Break Limits, the power of the Black Iron Grade Water Ball skill could rival a King Level skill.
"Little Soft, this is taking off like a rocket!"
Slime Soul Kingdom Attribute Tax: Every Slime must hand over 1% of its own attribute tax.
For example: If a Water Slime's Physique is 10 points, it will hand over 0.1 points to King （Little Soft）.
